Description
This six-page laminated reference guide shares practical strategies, tools and lesson ideas for incorporating robotics and computational thinking into your teaching.

Robotics is an excellent tool for teaching vital computational thinking (CT) and programming skills by allowing students to see and interpret results in real time. Not only are robots highly motivating for students, they can be easily incorporated into the subjects you teach or as part of an after-school club.

Based on the book Rev Up Robotics: Real-World Computational Thinking in the K-8 Classroom by Jorge Valenzuela, this guide will quickly get you up to speed on how to introduce CT and robotics in elementary and middle school classes.

The guide features:
  • An overview of computational thinking and resources for teaching CT concepts.
  • Ideas for weaving robotics into math, science, social studies and English language arts.
  • Advice for creating an after-school robotics club or getting started with competitive robotics.
